Resource Government FAQ

Live Webinars

What is the webinar viewer?

Not every live webinar will have the webinar viewer. The webinar viewer is an online PowerPoint® presentation that the speaker will manipulate. You can access the webinar viewer through a link provided in your confirmation email. Internet access is required.

What is a live webinar?

A live webinar is a live training program in which the audio is streamed over the Internet or accessed over phone lines and the written materials are accessed via the Internet.

How do I access the live webinar?

Once you have registered for the live webinar, you will receive a confirmation email with a link and an individual PIN to stream the audio over the Internet and access the reference materials. If you are unable to stream the audio over the Internet, you may use the provided toll-free number and PIN to access the audio. Only one access point and PIN number is available per paid registration.

* International charges will apply for customers calling from outside the United States and Canada.

Your confirmation email includes a link to the reference materials for your live webinar. The reference materials are typically available for download a day or two before the live webinar.

My PIN is not working. What should I do?

Make sure no one else from your company has already dialed in. Each PIN is only good for one line connection. If no else has dialed in, continue to enter your PIN followed by the # sign. After 3 or 4 attempts, you will be forwarded to an operator who can connect you to the call manually.

What if I can’t find my original confirmation email?

Check your junk mail or spam folder for [email protected]. If you are still unable to find it, contact our Customer Service Department at 1-866-411-6211, 7:00am-4:30pm CST Monday-Friday, for a new one.

What if I continue to experience technical problems during the live webinar?

It usually takes the computer system between 30 seconds and one minute to recognize your PIN is no longer connected. After that time, you should be able to dial back in using the same PIN.

How many listeners can we have on a live webinar?

Each paid registration gives you one access point. You will be able to either dial in on a single phone line or access one web streaming port with your individual pin number. This pin number can only be accessed by one attendee at any given time. You are welcome to gather your team or staff into a room to listen all at one time. If you need access for multiple phone lines or multiple web streaming ports, please see our multiple attendee pricing.

Can additional live webinar listeners get continuing education credit?

How do I get continuing education credit for attending a live webinar?

A link to request continuing education credit is provided in your confirmation email. If you have misplaced your confirmation email, you may request your credit here. Only registered and paid attendees will receive continuing education credit.

How do I ask the speaker questions during the live webinar?

At the end of each live webinar, the operator will provide instructions to attendees who wish to ask a question.

If the speaker is using the webinar viewer, questions may be submitted throughout the live webinar presentation.

Why don’t the charges on my credit card match the confirmation I received?

There are multiple scenarios where the charges may not match.
